I have a Capri Camper and I will list the pros and cons down below.
Pros:
A lightweight camper. My Capri's dryweight is around 1700 lbs and when fully loaded I doubt I am over 2000 lbs but I travel light.
Great customer service. They were always willing to answer any questions I had and did it fairly quickly.
You can build your camper the way you want. You can choose a sink, two burner stove, 12 volt NovaKool refrigerator, microwave, shower, and even a audio/video package that includes a 32" digital HD flat screen t.v.
It is a quality built camper and is also insulated. This past September I was camping in the Vail Pass area and the temperature got below freezing and I was still comfortable inside.
You get to choose your interior and exterior colors.
Cons
The camper is held on by turnbuckles hooked from the truck bed to the bottom of the camper. The camper is secure and you can take the camper off of your truck but it is a pain to get back on.
The catalytic propane heater works good but if you camp at very high elevations (+10000 feet) it doesn't work as well.
Not a lot of storage space especially if you get a shower and microwave.
Overall I love my camper but when putting in your order make sure you think through what you really need and could probably do without. Looking back I probably would not have gotten the microwave and shower because I rarely use them.
Sasha4: Thank you. I've already seen all the articles on them on both the Truck Camper Magazine and the Truck Camper Adventure sites.
Colorado Kid: How long have you had yours? I'm really interested in how a wood-framed camper held together by nails and staples holds up over time and miles. Thanks for replying.
I have had it since April. I picked it up at the Capri Camper factory just outside of Dallas then drove it to the east coast and then back to Colorado. I also camped in it couple of times this summer on some backroads and it has held up fine.
I live in the Pacific Northwest and wood frame campers/trailers always leak and rot. This is why I went with my Livin Lite Ford branded camper. No wood anywhere, the cabinet frames are welded alluminum and even the floor is extruded alluminum.
